You have to have perfect vision or else it is a liability when you are flying.

1 in 19,231. I would suggest you look into the requirements. I believe you need a bachelors degree, complete the commissioning program, etc. Mainly, you need to convince the Government to trust you to fly a $100 Million dollar plane.
